07. Is there a catchphrase or sound that they tend to make a lot (likely without being aware of it)?
Not really a catchphrase but Hymnia tends to comment on how ‘obvious’ or ‘easy’ things are in a fairly smug way. She likes to flaunt her intelligence then play innocent when she’s called out on being stuck up. “I thought I was merely pointing out the obvious. Don’t fault me for being right.” As for sounds, she tends to scoff a lot at things she finds tiresome or irritating. She’ll also make derisive noises when people do something ‘unintelligent or uninspired.’ She sort of tries to hide it when she laughs at others’ expense but… not too hard.
08. What is, perhaps, their biggest flaw? Are they aware of this or oblivious to it?
Hymnia is… not a good person. She has many flaws and very few morals, but her biggest flaw is probably her ego. She sees herself as above others and generally superior and usually right. She’ll acknowledge that she’s wrong if sufficient evidence is provided, but generally she assumes her opinion and perception is the correct one. She also can overestimate herself and end up in over her head. Hymnia is very aware of this flaw, but rather than try and correct what she considers an integral of her personality she simply works around it, preparing for bad situations. It’s not like she cares much what other people think of her anyways.
21. What is one of your character’s biggest fears? How would they react when dealing with this fear?
While Hymnia doesn’t care about what others think of her in general, she does care about her reputation because it’s so useful for her. As a detective, people assume she’s a helpful and trustworthy person and she’s able to have so many wonderful opportunities as a result. She also values her family’s view of her. She’s close with them and wouldn’t like it at all if something happened to them or her relationship with them. As such, one of her biggest fears is being ‘exposed’ and losing her carefully built reputation. Hymnia knows she’s done bad things and is what would be considered a ‘bad guy’, but she’s determined to keep that side of her separate from her family and work reputation. As such, she’s very susceptible to threats about exposing any of her criminal activity. She covers her tracks meticulously and won’t tolerate anyone interfering with her family or even some of her less criminally-inclined friends (as much as Hymnia has non-criminal friends.)
